I am a Mechanical Engineer [age: 63 years ] and working as a Retainer in Larsen & Toubro Ltd . I have been on one year conract for F.Y. 2012-13 & my salary is Rs 1.0 lakh per month . Do I fall in service tax applicability ? What is the limit upto which Service tax is not applicalle/paid ?
You have taken a job as a retainer, please go through the terms and conditions of your appointment letter/ work contract agreement, and if it found that you are service provider and not an employee of the company, service tax liability will attract.
However, your principal ile larsen & Tubro will be entitled to get cenvat credit of the same.

Apparently it seems that you have entered into contract with L & T as a conslutant. Therefore, you are liable to service tax on or above Rs. 10 Lacs
